Tom spent his early professional career as a ski racing coach, a fitness trainer, an entrepreneur, and an international economic development official in state government. He then spent the next 21 years in academia as a professor and endowed faculty chair developing and teaching courses in international business, management, leadership, and positive organizational behavior. His favorite course, actually launched during the height of the global pandemic, was titled: Purpose, Meaning & Happiness. Tom’s very early interest in Carl Jung’s Synchronicity Theory led him to complete his doctoral research and dissertation, "The Emergent Synchronicity Principle in Appreciative Inquiry: Seeing the Connections." Tom then applied his research to help individuals and organizations to cultivate and enhance their awareness around this power to be at "the right place at the right time."
Today, Tom leads TriSync Impact, a strengths-centered management consulting group that empowers individuals and organizations through the alignment of one's "Natural Genius" (personality + strengths) with Synchronicity Activation. Tom is an avid technical scuba diver, fly fisherman, gravel biker, and part-time chef. Additionally, Tom is a founding board member of Reef Renewal USA, a nonprofit organization throughout the Florida Keys that cultivates and grows multiple varieties of thermal-resistant coral species in nurseries to "renew coral reefs for future generations." Tom lives with his wife, Julie, in Jericho, Vermont and they have two grown sons, Will and Charlie.
